The Goblins Residence

Puerto Lumbreras

Spanish name: Casa de los duendes

Casa de los Duendes is the typical house of a bourgeois family from the mid 19th century and one of the best remains from its time in Puerto Lumbreras. The house, of great architectural and cultural value, belonged to a family known as “Los Mayorajos”. One of the main features inside the house is the Augusto Vels handwriting room.

A few years ago the house was bought by the Puerto Lumbreras City Hall, which is implementing a plan to restore and use the house as a public space, and also to promote the tourist and cultural development of the municipality in general and of the town's old headquarters in particular.
